We use only
the highest grade, custom built 1U servers. Server loads are
constantly monitored to ensure fast performance and high
reliability. In the unlikely event that a server should fail,
we always keep spare parts on-site, and backups are made
daily.

Air Conditioning

Precision-controlled air conditioning systems protect and
cool mission-critical servers and equipment in the Network
Operations Center. The facility is controlled by York™
quad-compressor/dual-blower redundant systems. These systems
provide a virtually dust-free and particle-free computing
environment, with temperature, humidity, and air-quality
regulation.

The Network
Operations Center is connected via a OC192 fiber connection to
Verizon. We utilize redundant DS3, OC3 and gigabit (1000mbps)
connections through Sprint,
AT&T, Cable&Wireless, MCI/UUNet Global Crossing and more. We
are peering (sharing capacity) with major backbones, to
exchange connectivity. For redundancy, we are currently
running BGP4 (border gateway routing protocol) to maintain the
speed and uptime. If one backbone line goes down, it will
balance the load to the other(s). If one line gets congested,
it will load balance the traffic.
